Legend of Swordsman

“This rare trial’s most precious treasures are these Grand Yan Immortals!” Jian Wushuang, his eyes emanating a sinister aura, exclaimed, his eye sockets shrinking at the sight.

The karmic calamity and killing tribulation on his body were likely the cause of his current predicament.

This situation should improve after he elevates his Extreme Dao to the seventh level. Just like when he reached the fourth level, he might gain control over other abilities.

Countless years of cultivation in the starry sky had given him profound insights. Although constant slaughter happened on the primitive stars, he could find moments to catch his breath.

Since encountering Hu Qing, he had either been fighting desperately or fleeing for his life. Now, he finally had some time to stabilize his strength.

Jian Wushuang closed his eyes, conserving his energy, and began consolidating his various Daos.

The battle with MO Long and others not only yielded precious treasures and achievements but also the origin sources devoured. These origin sources, when combined, could rival a Perfected Nine Revolutions complete origin source Dao, and they were second-tier origin source Daos at that.

His task now was to absorb these origin source powers into his Extreme Dao as much as possible.

As for the Ultimate Sword Dao origin source, he had already stepped into the sixth level. He didn’t need to advance it further now, and even if he did, he dared not use the origin sources he had devoured to elevate it.

The Sword Dao was unique, it couldn’t be complicated, and certainly not chaotic.

Sword Dao needed purity, something innate!

The Extreme Dao, on the other hand, was different. It contained the origin sources of all Great Daos, and he could freely devour and merge them.

As for Heart power, it couldn’t be considered a separate Dao; it was intertwined with the Sword Dao. The stronger his Sword Dao, the stronger his Heart power.

Since his Ultimate Sword Dao reached the sixth level, his Heart power had also changed and showed signs of breakthrough.

This was largely due to the Bodhi Heartwood he got from Wuliang Buddha. If he had the chance, he definitely wanted to see that Bodhi Tree.

If he could uproot it entirely, that would be even better.

However, this thought flashed in his mind and disappeared.

This tree had given birth to the Wuliang Realm, an invaluable treasure even the Tongtian Buddha coveted. How could he possibly touch it?

Focusing his mind, he began to merge the origin sources and also allocated a portion of his Thought power to manifest an illusory phantom sword.

He knew quite a lot about sword formations, especially the ancient sword formations.

In the Ancient Era, a remarkable and extraordinary Sword Immortal had emerged in the Great Si Region. This sword immortal had successfully merged the Sword Dao, achieving the status of an Emperor. Moreover, he had created a peerless sword technique, which had been passed down to this day.

Among them, there was the Three-Foot Sword Formation, but this formation was incomplete. The owner of the Three-Foot Sword hadn’t completed the formation before being suppressed by Zhen Wuyang.

The grand formation had six layers. The owner of the Three-Foot Sword had once claimed that the Three-Foot Sword could measure the universe, with a total of thirteen layers. Unfortunately, just after creating the sixth layer, he was suppressed.

However, these six layers were sufficient for Jian Wushuang. As for the thirteen layers mentioned by the Emperor, he didn’t know if it was true or false. It was possible that the Emperor never said such a thing; perhaps someone had fabricated the rumor. After all, claiming to reach the thirteenth layer right after creating the sixth layer to measure the universe sounded too unbelievable.

With a slight movement of his Thought power, countless illusions of Jian Wushuang split off and began to deduce the sword formation together.

The name of this grand formation was quite grandiose, but it ultimately fell into obscurity.

“Transcendent Immortal Formation!” Jian Wushuang murmured.

A formation that could kill Immortals, how domineering!

Unfortunately, it couldn’t kill the Emperor; otherwise, Zhen Wuyang wouldn’t have been a problem.

The first three layers of the Transcendent Immortal Formation corresponded to the Grand Yan Immortal. When that Sword Immortal was at the level of the Grand Yan Immortal, he achieved great fame and strength through this formation.

It’s important to note that not every Grand Yan Immortal could become an Emperor. That Sword Immortal was only a third-grade sword cultivator back then. Even when he reached the Nine Revolutions stage, he was at most comparable to a peak-level Grand Yan Immortal. But with this formation, he could achieve the status of a Dao Lord. In his hands, this grand formation was undoubtedly a terrifying formation that could kill extreme-level Grand Yan

Immortals.

Someone like Luo Hao, a second-grade origin source cultivator at the Perfected Nine Revolutions level, at his best, could only match the strength of a peak-level Grand Yan Immortal. Even if he continued to improve, a third-grade Grand Yan Immortal at best could only be on par with a

peak-level Grand Yan Immortal.

The supremely talented Sword Immortal, who had mastered the third-grade origin source Great Dao as the Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan

Immortal, was no ordinary cultivator. He was comparable to peak-level Grand Yan Immortals and had even established his name as a Dao Lord.

As he delved deeper into the sword formation, Jian Wushuang felt its immense power.

The first layer of the Transcendent Immortal Formation, an entry-level stage, required mastery over 36 sword techniques. Each Sword Intent had to surpass the Perfected Nine Revolutions level. For Jian Wushuang, this was relatively straightforward, but mastering all 36 sword techniques posed a challenge.

With the recent creation of his Illusory Sword Technique, he could divide it into 9 swords. After this power boost, he could possibly split it into 18 swords. However, another division might weaken the inherent Sword Intent significantly.

Fortunately, each of his Sword Intents far surpassed the Perfected Nine Revolutions level. At the sixth stage of the Ultimate Dao, it was equivalent to the ninth stage of a second-grade origin source Dao. His formidable Sword Intent likely wasn’t much different from that supremely talented Sword Immortal during his peak period as a Grand Yan Immortal.

Meeting the requirements was one thing; comprehending the rest was relatively straightforward. He was not inventing a formation but merely mastering a sword formation. The complexity was significantly lower. Plus, with his mastery of the Ultimate Dao and his role as the master of the sword, understanding the sword formation was as natural as a fish in water.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye within the cave.

The silence of the original planet failed to capture the passage of time through blooming and withering flowers. It was Jian Wushuangs strengthened power that lent meaning to the passing time.

Above the mountains.

Two top-grade Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals tore through the sky and stopped near Jian Wushuang.

One had the peak fighting power of the best Nine Revolutions expert, while the other was a Grand Yan Immortal with a frail divine body on the verge of collapse.

“Madman Yang, I’ve brought you here! This place is the deepest part of the mountains. You won’t encounter powerful Grand Yan Immortals here. With your achievements, after the trial, you can still maintain your position within the top 10,000. By then, you can comprehend the origin source of the Qishen Temple,” the top-tier Grand Yan Immortal persuaded.

The one being persuaded was Madman Yang, whose real name was Yang Feng. Due to his crazed fighting style, he earned the moniker ‘Madman Yang.

However, madness on the original planet was far from a virtue. Despite his strength being among the top of the Nine Revolutions, his tendency to burn his origin source recklessly made him a headache for many experts.

After entering the original planet, he formed a team with a group of friends and accumulated significant achievement points. However, advancing into the top 1,000 was exceedingly difficult with his strength. Thus, he started targeting solitary peak-level Grand Yan Immortals. Yet, every single one of those peak-level Grand Yan Immortals who could roam the main continent alone was a formidable opponent.

Their entire squad was almost obliterated by one such peak-level Grand Yan Immortal. Fortunately, Madman Yang burned half of his origin source to escape the pursuit of the peak-level Grand Yan Immortal, saving them all..
